Where's that Receipt...?
I think *hunnnghh* I've made a slight miscalculation *mmmrrrrrrggghhhh* with my latest jeans purchase.
Whew... got it! But if these things shrink at all, I'm going to be in a world of trouble.

It's fun to cook! Of course, I do not eat, for I am a doll. But it always looks like so much fun! If I could eat food, I would fix grilled lemons every night, because lemons are such a pretty fruit!
I would've loved to hear the pitch this fella made to the model when he explained his concept behind The Dolliseum.

The Incredible Shrinking Man
I went to pick up three pairs of jeans yesterday at the Bay (which is right across from work). All my current pairs of jeans are ripped and torn in the most embarrassing of places. Apparently, there's some place that will take torn and damaged clothing and recycle them. I need speak with my friend Gen about this.
Anyhoo... the really cool thing is that the jeans were a size 38 waist and 30 long. The 38 waist is big, but it's two sizes lower than my last pair of jeans, and I remember that when I bought those old jeans, they felt as snug as these ones do now.
Progress! I'm still got a-ways to go on the weight-loss thing, but it's encouraging! Go me!
Who knows? Maybe this time next year I'll be slipping through sewer grates by accident instead of getting wedged in revolving doors. It's a goal to keep in mind...

Quiet on the Set!
We had a rehearsal last night and my actors are almost completely off their scripts. Go them! It's so much easier to work on blocking, expression, and character development when you don't need to hold a script in one hand.
Their characters are slowly taking shape and we're able to run the scenes right through, almost without stopping. This play is so going to rock.
When June rolls around, I'm so going to relax. The play will be over, storytelling will be over, and the MPRC activities tend to drop because the students go home. I'll have lots more time to myself and I can get ahead on others projects that have been relegated to the back burners.
And then there's always time for sipping tea on the balcony, chatting with a friend, under a full moon. That's always a pleasure.

Meanwhile, in outer space...
Did I mention that SoapBox Derby, our online novel, has been updated recently? Taras added his chapter in the continuing saga last week. I think Ceri will be adding the next chapter sometime soon.
Go look. Go look at it now.

Surely this doesn't suprise you
Take the What High School
Stereotype Are You? quiz, by Angel.
And it was my birthday on the weekend! Yay! I'm the ripe old age of 33, which doesn't really feel any different from 32. I must be getting to that age where the numbers don't matter anymore. I told my Dad that I was plateauing gracefully.
This year's Birthday loot includes: a red T-shirt that reads "Idle... but Deadly" (a spoof on the warnings on cigarrete packs), the loan of my mum's car for two weeks, a Spiderman lunch box, a tiny dictionary, a compilation of 100 years of Irish poetry, and a few heartfelt (e)cards, phone calls, handshakes, and lots of smoochies (go me!).
I spent my actual birthday at a BBQ party with some friends and had a few people over at my place for drinks, discussions, and tarot readings (while drunk).
Another successful b-day celebration. Go me!

King and Queen of May
Earlier this week (on May 1st), I had the honour of being crowned King of May by winning the Mr. Pagan International Contest (I got 38 votes compared to the 10-11 votes for each of the three runners-up). I contacted Lady Elan who turned out to be my Queen of May and it turns out that she's something of a graphic artist! Check out her artwork at Lady Elan.
She also designed these plaques to commemorate our ascension to the thrones. Such talent, my Queen has!
Okay, okay... I'll shut up about this now.

Hair mousse has an expiry date?!?
I guess I'll have to get me some more then. I heard on CHOM this morning that HoneyMoon Suite and Platinum Blonde will be performing a concert together in May sometime. Wouldn't that be swell?
I'm almost ashamed to admit that I actually thought this was good news.
No wait... I am ashamed.

Weird Photo Wednesdays
Whew... it's enough to make me wanna be a vegetarian (almost).
This is a typical photo from Ted Nugent's highly successful Kamp for Kids (actually spelling), which is a summer camp to teach kids how to hunt wild game using a rifle or a bow and arrow. Going through this site gave me a sudden hankering for the smell of gunpowder and some cheap bourbon.
But really, there's nothing I can say about this site better than what the ol' Nuge can say himself in his essay on how to inspire a child in the wild:
SO TAKE A YOUNGSTER INTO THE WILD AS SOON AND AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN. GET 'EM SHOOTING, EXPLORING AND THROBBING. NOW!

And now I would like to thank...
I won! I won the Mr. Pagan International Beauty Contest! Thanks to everyone who voted for me... you all rock!
If you're just joining us, I entered myself in a Pagan Beauty contest a few months back and shamelessly plugged and PRed all my contacts to vote for me. Well... it looks like you all came through for me, 'cause here I am, King of May.
Yay... What a great start to today! And only a few days before my birthday... this is the coolest present. Thanks again!
Now... stay tuned for Weird Photo Wednesday, 'cause it'll be a doozy. Here's a hint: it's related to Ted Nugent.
